GRASS TUBEWORM MOTHS

Eastern Grass Tubeworm, photographed on June 28, 2018. This is the only individual I have found of this species. 

Arcane Grass Tubeworm. This is probably the most common grass tubeworm moth at my lights.  

Texas Grass Tubeworm. I have found a couple of these moths at my lights in July. 

Another Arcane Grass Tubeworm. They fly in June and July, with stragglers into August and September. 

Clemens' Grass Tubeworm. This is another very common species at my lights. I find them from late June through August.
